textiles: tea towels and napkins

il_fullxfull64005809-1
i’m rummaging through my fridge right now (looking for breakfast) so i’ve got kitchen-textiles on the brain. so i thought i’d share these beautiful napkins from natsumi nishizumi and slide sideways at etsy.

natsumi’s lovely minimalist napkins are made from 100% organic linen and use only water-based inks. i love the sweet dotted pattern on each one, and think the color palette she’s chosen (an orangey pink, soft yellow, and spring green) is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. natsumi also makes coasters with the same dotted print- you can pick up both right here for $30 and $10 (sets of 2). [also, click here to check out natsumi's illustration work on the d*s guest blog]

next up? slide sideways at etsy. slide sideways is a collaboration between graphic designers scott scoggin and jacqui savisky of spokane. i love their colorful tea towels and playful illustrations they’ve created for both. slide sideways’ linens are made from 100% organic cotton as well, and also use water-based inks. you can pick up both of their designs right here for $15 each.

They’re beautiful, and I love that they both use organic cotton.
Congratulations on the feature on VG Nett! If you need translation from Norwegian to English, let me know!

Tea towels are my weakness – I can’t get enough of them! These are so bright and happy…and organic puts them over the top!
